Project Engineering Lead

Full Time
  • October 16, 2026
  • Employment Info

    JOB  DETAILS

    This role goes beyond coordination – you’ll own the technical elements of projects, contributing to the on-going refinement of standard designs, guiding engineering decisions and ensuring projects are set up for long term operational success. You’ll play a critical role in transforming how Horizon Power develops and delivers energy solutions for remote communities.

    The Opportunity

    • Lead engineering decision-making across the full project lifecycle, from early development through to delivery, commissioning and handover.
    • Drive fit-for-purpose designs, ensuring solutions are safe, constructable, maintainable and optimised for remote operating conditions.
    • Own technical assurance, ensuring designs are safe, constructable, operable and aligned to long term operational needs.
    • Act as the technical escalation point, resolving complex issues and guiding critical decisions across development and delivery phases.
    • Support investment and procurement decisions, providing technical input into business cases, contracting strategies and vendor selection.

    About You

    You’re a hands-on and pragmatic technical leader who thrives in complex environments, takes ownership of outcomes, challenging assumptions, and driving technically sound, practical solutions.

    You Will Bring

    • Degree in Engineering (Electrical preferred but not essential) with strong experience in remote hybrid power systems.
    • Proven capability across the full project lifecycle—development, FEED, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover.
    • Demonstrated experience in technical leadership, design assurance and engineering governance
    • Ability to balance technical rigour with practical delivery, ensuring outcomes are both robust and achievable
    • Experience influencing design, procurement and technical decision making outcomes.
    • A proactive, solutions focused mindset with the confidence to lead the technical space and drive outcomes.
    • You are a confident communicator, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    We’re seeking someone who can confidently lead engineering decisions end-to-end – whether in design reviews, on site resolving delivery issues, or supporting investment and procurement outcomes.
